Description
The Mishimoto Constant Tension Worm Gear Clamp (MMCLAMP-CTWG-79) is a stainless steel fabrication clamp built for an outer diameter range of 2.24in to 3.11in (57mm to 79mm). What sets it apart from a standard worm gear clamp is the spring built into the adjustment bolt, which lets it exert continuous pressure even as temperatures climb and fall around it.
Where a conventional worm gear clamp can loosen as heat cycles expand and contract the hose or pipe underneath it, this Mishimoto constant tension clamp uses its steel spring to keep bearing down, holding the seal as tight as the day it was installed. The stainless steel band and worm gear housing resist corrosion longer than a zinc-plated clamp, making this a dependable piece of Mishimoto Fabrication hardware for any project that needs a clamp that won’t quit in high-heat conditions. It’s a straightforward, reusable solution for anyone assembling or servicing hose and pipe connections who wants clamping pressure that stays consistent over the long haul.
Vehicle Applications
This is a universal-fit fabrication clamp rather than a vehicle-specific part, sized to secure pipes, couplers, and hoses with an outer diameter of 2.24in to 3.11in (57mm to 79mm). Mishimoto offers its constant tension worm gear clamps in a range of other sizes as well, so this particular size is intended for larger-diameter connections such as bigger coolant lines and intake pipes on the vehicle or application you’re building.
